Terror must not divide Britain

THE bombings were a devastating anti-climax to the euphoria London enjoyed for too brief a moment after having secured the Olympics. We utterly deplore all acts of terror whatever their motive. Terror makes victims of us all and there can be no justification for the mindless killing of innocents.

We offer our deepest sympathy and prayers to the families and friends of those killed and injured. It is the hope of those that perpetrate such horrific acts of violence to demoralise us as a nation and divide us as a people. We should not allow them to succeed.

In the aftermath of such brutality we are determined that Muslims in Britain not be intimidated or cowered by these tragic events. It is the council’s hope that British Muslims feel secure in their country and their capital city and not fear reprisals for premeditated acts of violence beyond their control.
